Quaint & Cozy
We love Ocracoke, been on and off for many years! The Charter Room had all the amenities we needed. Golf cart rental through the place was also an easy process, and we enjoyed the usage. On a quiet street just off the main area of the village. Close to everything. The rooms were very neat and the cleanliness was outstanding. Thanks for having us!

Great little spot.
Tucked away but still close to everything. We loved it, and it came with Noodles, a delightful dog who came to visit at least every morning for kisses and butt-rubs :) Recommend.

Long weekend stat
The place was cute, the neighbors were friendly, and the island was perfect. We needed to get toilet paper because there was none left when we arrived and the rooms did smell like mildew at first.

The Charter Room was perfect for my husband and I for an adult getaway. It was clean, the property owner was responsive when we needed the code for the door. It was a convenient spot and nice stay. Loved the outdoor shower!

Great Stay
The room is great. Its just enough for my husband and myself. We enjoy it so much that we make sure to schedule our next trip earlier than normal. The Grants are the best!! You'll never find anyone like them. I make a point to clean the house before we leave as i know how busy they are. We have always been very considerate.

Small but great
This apartment is small. Three people max. Probably is ideal for a couple without kids. That said, this place was perfect for us, and the proprietors are great to interact with. I stayed with two teen boys and it was perfect for us. Also, the place is actually a little bigger than the photos make it seem. At least, it felt bigger than what I was expecting. I will definitely stay there again.

Great for one or two people and a small child. Had everything I needed, plus. Very comfortable bedroom. New AC worked great. The owners were very responsive. And they have golf carts on site for rent. I would gladly rent at this property again.

Great Music Festival weekend
We were very pleased with the property especially because it was so close to the Festival grounds. It was a very cute efficiency with everything we needed for the weekend. We would have preferred not to have to bring our own linens because of the hassle but certainly not a deal breaker. It was quiet and easily accessible.

Domestic dispute
My husband and and I would have stayed here again for a long weekend until our last two nights lead to little sleep due to very loud yelling and arguing with whom ever was staying in attached home (listing states owners live there). Our poor dogs who are very laid back where even worried..

Jamboree
Location was great but very cramped as far as neighbors. Basically right out the door. A little noisy as the owners live in the main house. When they were in the laundry room it was like they were standing in the unit. Never stayed anywhere you had to bring your own sheets and towels. That was a little different for us. You could walk to most any restaurant and the waterfront. So overall it was ok.

Will be back!!
This was our third year staying on this property in total. The first year we enjoyed “The Lucky Buck” and the past two years we have enjoyed “The Charter House”. We cannot wait for our forth trip next year!!! If you are looking for quaint, comfortable, simplistic, and an opportunity to unplug and recharge your batteries, these little places are definitely your answer. Just what we were looking for. See you next year!!
